In this video I take a £52 Acer Veriton N4660G mini ex-office PC and show why it’s basically the “do-it-all” homelab box I didn’t expect. At first it looks like I’ve just whacked a GPU on the side, but the big deal is it’s got a proper PCIe x16 physical slot (it doesn’t run at full x16 lanes, but it still works really well). Mine came with an 8th gen Core i5, 8GB RAM and a 120GB SSD, and for the money that’s already a solid starting point. I break down what you can upgrade and what it can run: NAS duties, router/firewall, Docker host, Proxmox, media server—the lot. Storage-wise it’s surprisingly flexible too: you’ve got room for a 2.5" drive, a Wi‑Fi card slot, plus two M.2 positions (one NVMe and one SATA M.2). To run a GPU like I did, you’ll want the top-rated 135W Acer-style power supply (5.5 x 1.7mm barrel), and I also upgraded the CPU to an i7 and paired it with an Intel Arc card that doesn’t need extra power. All-in, my setup lands around £280 with the deals I found, and the performance genuinely blew me away. If you’ve been looking at boards like the ZimaBoard and want something with real expansion, this little Veriton is a serious value play for 2025.
